Autograph Event - Banner Day
The day before I found out that Fergie Jenkins and other celebrity's would be signing autographs at the IBL All-Star game in Toronto. I decided to go.
.
As soon as I arrived the celebrity All-Star game began. Famous people included Walter Gretzky, Jim Fanning and some retired hockey players.
As the celebrity game ended I went to the exit of the field and got Walter Gretzky to sign a ticket stub, program and he gave me a pre-printed autograph sheet of paper too.
After this Jim Fanning signed for the fans. I got him to sign 4 baseballs and 1 index card that I had brought with me.
Fergie Jenkins bought items for example hats, bobbleheads and photo's to sell for his foundation. I bought 1 bobblehead and 1 8x10 photo.
I got Fergie to sign 2 baseball cards, 1 Poster, 5 baseballs and 1 program.
I also got to talk to Fergie Jenkins and I took a photo with him.
Here are some more photo's that I took of Fergie Jenkins.
I am leaving for New York in 1 hour and I can't wait till I leave for the homerun derby tomorrow. I will be sitting in LF and I hopefully will snag a homerun baseball. Look for me on TV. My next entry will be from a game that I attend this past Tuesday night.
Hey Chris:
Sounds like you had an excellent time at this event. Fergie still looks good in his Chicago Cubs uniform and so does former Montreal Expos manager Jim Fanning. It's always special when you get to meet them in person!

Awesome Chris. Yeah, I agree with pinetarman, Fergie Jenkins still does look like a player in uniform. Looks like you had an awesome time.

Hey Chris -
Good Luck tomorrow night. I wish I could fly across country tonight to get there but it just won't happen! It will be great when you get a HR Derby ball and that other guy on MLBlogs doesn't :-P
GO CHRIS!!!
Hey how about a 2003 All Star Game Ball for $15.40?
I found one here http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=2767617

Whoa, that's awesome.
I'm so jealous that you're going to the Derby today. I keep telling myself that someday I will go to an All-Star event, be it the game or the Derby... I'd love to go to the Futures Game someday too...

He still looks good in his uniform is right! He still looks like a current Major Leaguer. He is a really nice guy and I encourage everyone here to get his autograph if you don't already have it.

Thanks! I had loads of fun at this event.

I am hoping so badly that I catch a homerun baseball. My goal tonight is to catch one by Justin Morneau. The only problem is that I am sitting in LF. That 2003 All-Star game baseball is really nice. My friend actually has that one and he would trade me for it. Thanks for the comment and I love your BallHawk clothes!

Yes, I could not get tickets for the future games. I wish I could have tho.
